BA's 787-9
BA has been very quiet on the launch route for both their new bird due to arrive in September and also it's apparently 'new' First Class.
Could it possibly be because their new 787-9 First seats cannot be fitted into the aircraft?
According to a very reliable source within BA this is indeed the reason why we are hearing nada!
Anyone else heard similar? Or anyone from BA prepared to comment?

Would be a very surprising issue - esp. as they trailed the new first seat in the FT a few months back. Would be some heads rolling if this were true!

According to the document below on http://nyc787.blogspot.co.uk/ , BA's 1st 787 hasn't entered the assembly stage yet.

My thread was not about how many will/won't have F. It was a) to enquire why BA has been so quiet on it's launch bearing in mind it is meant to be in service in September. And b) whether others have heard the same rumour re problems with the F seat.

Edit: may have found the thread, but it makes no mention of measuring cabin so not sure about that recollection...
Edit 2: relevant seatmap

BA have stated a few times that the 787-9 will feature a NEW F cabin.
If it is simply being 'refreshed', then I think loyal BA customers may feel a tad shortchanged.

Correct.
Not necessarily correct. Generally a matter of style. "BA have stated" is perfectly acceptable in the sentence above.
